What vaccines a dog should get is between the client and the vet but when the client says on and the vet does it anyway, they really do need to be reported.
Yorkie puppies have been known to die from the lepto vaccine. Some vets won't give it to dogs under 10 pounds and some won't give it at all. Because of the high reaction rate with the rabies, it should be given separately. Some would say this goes for lepto also. |
Many people don't do through research to check out the facts, and some people misunderstand what they have read. Also, she may have said no, and he "talked her into it." I just didn't want her to believe that it's always a bad thing to get a combination of shots. Joey was given Duramune® Max 5 which includes shots for canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, canine adenovirus type 2, canine parainfluenza, and canine parvovirus. Joey's breeder wrote into the contract that the rabies and booster vaccinations not be given on the same day, but two weeks apart, and that no Lepto be given. It just wasn't clear on this thread if the poster believed only the distemper shot should be given and no other.
